“Amazing & detailed. I’ve seen so many podcasts that skip over the details to try to keep their episodes short, and I love how Carl goes into all the juicy details. I love how he goes into all of the context for the historical moments he focuses on. On top of all this, he is also a good...”Read full review »

“There is not a more complete history of Europe performed by any human being on this planet than this. Every battle's background is made perfectly clear as Carl includes the previous decades and even centuries of context or build up leading to the conflict. If he did one on North America and...”Read full review »

“I don’t usually write reviews.
I’ve listened from about half way and enjoyed catching up. Looked forward to each new podcast.
When in Europe I visited some of the sites you mentioned.
From memory you became a mayor and had major health issues yet continued to produce a top notch pod.
Well...”Read full review »

“The subject matter is interesting but the production value is quite low. The reading is so monotonous that there should be a warning that those listening while driving might fall asleep. And listening to this podcast with AirPods only amplifies every dry swallow and all the cotton mouth.”

“Excellent podcast. Listening to Carl is slightly woozy drunk and dreamy, floating with the music. such detail is appreciated. I particularly enjoyed episodes concerning events from the 19th century. The 1840’s were truly wild”

won or lost by particular decisions, tactics, technology or fortune. Each battle is placed in the context of the overall history of Europe. Very interesting and informative. Bravo!”

“I usually like a deeper dive into topics, but this is excellent at tying in the inter-connectiveness or European History. Sadly, I have almost caught up with all the eposodes. I thyink that comes from consuming them so ravenously.”
